emergency romance
as we’re burning things down to a crisp
I gotta tell you you look fantastic
vacuuming up the last chip
wondering what you’re doing this weekend
we could go watch the fireworks
spread all over the entire world
arrive late to this horror show
that started many millennia ago
go ride the last elephant
watch the tides rise until
dive through lost civilizations
that look a bit too obvious
just wanted to get in the mood
just wanted to start feeling good
nothing wrong with a bit of romance
may I have this last dance?

there is almost a kind of matter of factness about this poem that makes it seem like the individual had nothing better to do.
Nice one
